0:00:02 > 0:00:05The nation's favourite antiques experts, £200 and one big challenge.

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Testing, testing.

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Who can make the most money buying and selling antiques as they scour the UK?

0:00:11 > 0:00:13Lord above.

0:00:13 > 0:00:16The aim is to trade up and hope each antique turns a profit.

0:00:16 > 0:00:20But it's not as easy as it sounds and there can only be one winner.

0:00:20 > 0:00:21What a dilemma.

0:00:21 > 0:00:26So will it be the highway to success or the B road to bankruptcy?

0:00:26 > 0:00:28If I wasn't in your car, I'd let your tyres down.

0:00:28 > 0:00:31This is the Antiques Road Trip.

0:00:37 > 0:00:43On the road this week, antiques stalwarts David Barby and Philip Serrell.

0:00:43 > 0:00:48They're driving their newly-christened 1971 Morris Minor convertible.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Come on, Amy. God bless you, my love.

0:00:50 > 0:00:57Valuer and auctioneer David Barby has a specialist knowledge of porcelain.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02He's also very persuasive when it comes to buying.

0:01:02 > 0:01:04- Is that the very best?- That's it.

0:01:04 > 0:01:09Self-made man Philip Serrell is also an auctioneer and a valuer.

0:01:09 > 0:01:15He runs his own successful business and has a keen eye for the unusual.

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Sounds like David Barby breathing, doesn't it?

0:01:17 > 0:01:22Both experts started the week with a £200 float.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26After buying treasures galore, they went head-to-head at auction in Leicester.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- You have done really well with that. - Give me a kiss.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36Now what's in their purses is a different story.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42David got off to a cracking start.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47He's transformed his original £200 into £252.59.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Philip wasn't so lucky.

0:01:51 > 0:01:54His £200 hasn't worked quite so hard.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58He begins today's show with just £223.57.

0:02:00 > 0:02:05It's the start of a new day and the chaps are already on the road.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12This week's road trip, a veritable fling

0:02:12 > 0:02:14from Lincoln to Wotton-Under-Edge,

0:02:14 > 0:02:17taking in Norfolk and Suffolk along the way.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Today's leg begins with our gents casting off from Leicester.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Then they'll head east to Aylsham in Norfolk for an auction showdown.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29The first pin in the map - Sileby.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Nice Victorian villas along here. Not a bad village.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38It's very pretty but with a bit of a gruesome past.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43The Sileby murder of 1903 saw a young policeman shot

0:02:43 > 0:02:48by two drunken ruffians, later sentenced to death for their crime.

0:02:48 > 0:02:49Ooh!

0:02:49 > 0:02:54But that's not put David off, as he's set to go shopping.

0:02:54 > 0:02:55Look, there we are.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58There's the antique shop.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01Try and be too long. You don't have long left at your age.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03- Go on, get out of here.- Bye-bye.

0:03:03 > 0:03:04See you, Barbs.

0:03:07 > 0:03:12On the first leg of the trip, David triumphed thanks to his quick decision making.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15Will he be doing the same today?

0:03:15 > 0:03:20I have to look very carefully. I'm not going to make an immediate decision.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23Initially when you see dolls like this,

0:03:23 > 0:03:26you think more of bric-a-brac than serious antiques.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29You can go in, David.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30So where's all the treasure?

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- At the back? Dotted around.- Dotted, really. A bit of Arts and Crafts.

0:03:34 > 0:03:39There's a tray there that could do with some love.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Created using a technique called repousser,

0:03:42 > 0:03:45which is French for "to push back",

0:03:45 > 0:03:48a relief design is made by hammering out

0:03:48 > 0:03:51the reverse side of a metal surface, in this case copper.

0:03:51 > 0:03:56This late-19th century tray is from the Arts and Crafts period

0:03:56 > 0:04:00where traditional forms of craftsmanship were lauded.

0:04:00 > 0:04:03This was probably done at a small studio

0:04:03 > 0:04:06or it might have been done at night school.

0:04:06 > 0:04:11It has a very sort of William Morris look about it. That's rather nice.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13When it's polished up...

0:04:13 > 0:04:18Mind you, it'll take a lot of hard work polishing it up, particularly on this.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20Oops. But I think it'll be worth it.

0:04:20 > 0:04:22If David cleans away all that dirt,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25there's no knowing what the old devil might find behind.

0:04:25 > 0:04:28- How much is that? - It's a tenner to you.

0:04:28 > 0:04:32A tenner? Goodness me. Is that the very, very best?

0:04:32 > 0:04:35- It could be seven to you, David. - What about five?

0:04:35 > 0:04:38David, you're notoriously hard, but yes.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41£5. Oh, I think that's quite good.

0:04:41 > 0:04:43- I think it's all right.- Yes.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46I said I wasn't going to make an immediate decision!

0:04:46 > 0:04:50With a price like that, David, it would be rude not to!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Meanwhile, Philip is still on the road.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00He's heading six miles to Loughborough,

0:05:00 > 0:05:02the second largest settlement in Leicestershire.

0:05:02 > 0:05:08This was the destination of the first package tour in 1841,

0:05:08 > 0:05:13organised by a Thomas Cook for a temperance group from Leicester.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17It's also home to some rather nice antique shops.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Hi, how are you? All right?

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Richard is a jewellery specialist,

0:05:21 > 0:05:26so Philip needs a keen eye if he wants something in that category.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28A seal. Can I have a look at that?

0:05:28 > 0:05:31So what you do, you have all the different seals and waxes here.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35Lucky clover on the end as well.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40Dating back to ancient times, seals were adopted by royalty,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43the Church and the law, and by individuals.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Personal seals bore a crest or coat of arms,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48and were often inlayed into a signet ring.

0:05:48 > 0:05:54This decorative seal comes with a variety of waxes and a candle to melt them.

0:05:54 > 0:05:58It's probably from the 1950s and priced at £15.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01What I am trying to do is start sowing the seed of doubt

0:06:01 > 0:06:03in my new best friend Richard's mind

0:06:03 > 0:06:06as to how little this is really worth.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- I can feel one of my headaches coming on. - They're catching, aren't they?

0:06:10 > 0:06:11I think that's quite nice.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16I had one in my saleroom not that long ago. It made six quid.

0:06:16 > 0:06:20If I can put that with something else, there's a bit of mileage in that.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25Back in Sileby, David's getting all pumped up

0:06:25 > 0:06:30about another pretty item belonging to dealer Peter Stratton.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32This is an atomiser.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35You put perfume in there and this is a pump action.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38So you don't have one of those rubber things, you just...

0:06:38 > 0:06:39pump it away.

0:06:40 > 0:06:46In 1888, an atomiser was first developed to dispense medicine.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50By the early 1900s, they were adapted to spray perfume

0:06:50 > 0:06:52and were highly sought-after by elegant women.

0:06:52 > 0:06:58This one from the 1930s is a mix of sterling silver and cut glass

0:06:58 > 0:07:01formed into the shape of a cushion.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04The question is, will Peter be slashing down that price

0:07:04 > 0:07:06just like the copper tray?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08How much is that?

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Is that a fiver?

0:07:10 > 0:07:14- Can't see any mark on it. - It's sterling, isn't it?

0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Is it sterling?- Yes, it's marked.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17Ah, so it's not...

0:07:17 > 0:07:21It's not hallmarked, no. I think that's probably more than a fiver.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23I should say so, Peter.

0:07:23 > 0:07:27After all, it's all about making a profit, surely?

0:07:27 > 0:07:30I sense your disappointment at a tenner.

0:07:30 > 0:07:33Is it possibly a little bit less than £10?

0:07:33 > 0:07:37- It's a huge mistake, but it's a fiver.- OK. Sold.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Thank you very much, David.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41We shall wrap it for you.

0:07:41 > 0:07:42Nice one, David.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47Something else has caught Philip's eye.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Could I have a look at that little thing there, please?

0:07:49 > 0:07:53It's a little brass-bound pen wipe.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56You'd get your pen, dip it into your ink and write.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58Then you'd wipe the surplus.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Just wipe it along there like that.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03People collect writing accoutrements,

0:08:03 > 0:08:06they collect pens, blotters. All sorts of things.

0:08:06 > 0:08:11The early steel pen had a point that dipped into an inkwell.

0:08:11 > 0:08:15As they often dripped, nib or pen wipes were a necessity.

0:08:15 > 0:08:20These were anything from a circle out of cut cloth

0:08:20 > 0:08:22or stuffed fabric animals,

0:08:22 > 0:08:27or brushes like this one from 1900, priced at £10.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30I think that, if I can put it with that little desk set,

0:08:30 > 0:08:32I might be able to make an interesting lot.

0:08:32 > 0:08:36As in everything, it's all down to pounds, shillings and pence.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Your desk set,

0:08:39 > 0:08:42and your little ink blotter and ink wiper.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45I would estimate those at £10-£20 at auction.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47I'm going to be really mean and horrible.

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Can I give you a fiver for the two?

0:08:50 > 0:08:52- No.- What can I give you for the two?

0:08:52 > 0:08:5412. I'll settle at 12.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58- That ran off his tongue so quickly, didn't it?- 12.

0:08:58 > 0:08:59- I can't do 12.- Course you can.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02No, honestly I can't. I haven't got any change for a start.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Tenner, and that's the end of it.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Right. We'll settle at a tenner, then.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Good man. You're a gentleman. Thank you.

0:09:10 > 0:09:14David's next potential purchase is something a little more sporting.

0:09:14 > 0:09:18He's spotted a game of skittles called ninepins.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21You just play away. These are the cheeses

0:09:21 > 0:09:23that you would roll towards them.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27They're not balls, they're not round. They're almost oval.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Flat like a barrel. So they go in one direction.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I think they're probably about 40 years old.

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Ninepins has long been played in inns and taverns

0:09:38 > 0:09:40across England and beyond.

0:09:40 > 0:09:46The cheese is so called because any cheese-shaped lump can be thrown at the pins.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50In Germany it was played by monks in the third century.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53It was even banned in America in the 1830s

0:09:53 > 0:09:56because people were slacking off work to play it.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00- I'm going to ask you £15 for the lot.- Will you take a tenner for them, Peter?

0:10:00 > 0:10:02Yes, of course. Yes, of course.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04You're very obliging, Peter.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Watch David doesn't take advantage.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Is that thrown in as well?

0:10:08 > 0:10:12David! You are such a rascal!

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- But you can.- Thank you.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oh, this is wonderful.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21- Oh, that's brill. Peter, thank you very much.- You're more than welcome.

0:10:21 > 0:10:23Ooh! What a weight.

0:10:23 > 0:10:28But when it comes to paying, Peter has another knock-out price cut.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Oh, thank you very much.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34That is so generous. Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Instead of £10 for the ninepins, David's getting them for half price.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40Jammy so-and-so!

0:10:40 > 0:10:45We ended up having these for £5. Incredible price.

0:10:45 > 0:10:49That was a remarkable little establishment. But you had to explore.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Back in Loughborough, Philip is taking some time out.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59He's s visiting the historic John Taylor & Company bellfoundry.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02- Hi, how are you? - Hello. Pleased to meet you.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06Foundry museum manager Alan Berry will ring out the story

0:11:06 > 0:11:11of one of the oldest surviving industries still in existence.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13So what's a foundry?

0:11:13 > 0:11:19A foundry is where they melt metal and cast it into a mould to produce an object.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22- And these are the moulds here? - These are the moulds.

0:11:22 > 0:11:26# You can ring my bell

0:11:26 > 0:11:28# Ring my bell... #

0:11:28 > 0:11:31The mould for a bell is made of two parts,

0:11:31 > 0:11:34between which molten bronze is poured.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38Once it's cooled, the shape of the bell is created.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41Part of making the inner mould's shape

0:11:41 > 0:11:44is down to some very interesting ingredients.

0:11:44 > 0:11:50- That's red sand, black sand, chopped hay and horse manure.- Horse manure?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52Any particular horse manure?

0:11:52 > 0:11:54No, it doesn't matter which horse!

0:11:54 > 0:11:58This company, making bells since the 14th century,

0:11:58 > 0:12:02has been in the hands of the Taylor family since 1784.

0:12:02 > 0:12:07Nowadays this is the largest bellfoundry in the world,

0:12:07 > 0:12:09with only one other like it in the UK.

0:12:09 > 0:12:13What would be the biggest bell that you've made?

0:12:13 > 0:12:16Great Paul was the largest bell made here.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18And is that for St Paul's?

0:12:18 > 0:12:22- St Paul's Cathedral. - How big was that?- 16 tonnes.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25The company's biggest customer is the Church of England,

0:12:25 > 0:12:30including York Minster and Great St Mary's in Cambridge.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34But one of their more unusual clients is rock group AC/DC.

0:12:34 > 0:12:38Their one-tonne bell goes on tour with them all around the world.

0:12:38 > 0:12:40Hell's bells!

0:12:40 > 0:12:44You can feel the heat of that from here. That is really hot.

0:12:44 > 0:12:47Bronze is made out of a mix of copper and tin.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50This liquid is 1,200 degrees Celsius.

0:12:50 > 0:12:53So it's all about being very careful.

0:12:54 > 0:12:58How long does that take before it sets?

0:12:58 > 0:13:00You would want it to cool as much as possible,

0:13:00 > 0:13:03so it may be a few days before we take it out.

0:13:03 > 0:13:07When it comes to the price tag, size matters.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09If you look at a bell that size there,

0:13:09 > 0:13:14are you looking at thousands of pounds, tens of thousands of pounds?

0:13:14 > 0:13:18It would probably cost you eight to ten for a bell that size.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22- But then you have all the other fittings to go with it. - We'd better look at those.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27The next part of the process is tuning.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32The bell is placed upside down and a lathe cuts metal from the inside.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35This generates five different musical tones.

0:13:36 > 0:13:42Nowadays this is measured by computer, but centuries ago, it was all done by tuning forks.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46With the right tuning fork at the right pitch,

0:13:46 > 0:13:49we strike the fork. You hear the fork.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53AMPLIFIED TONE

0:13:53 > 0:13:56That will energise the bell because it's the right pitch.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02The bellfoundry here produces up to 100 bells a year.

0:14:02 > 0:14:08They also maintain some of the country's most important historic bells in churches,

0:14:08 > 0:14:12towers and cathedrals across the land.

0:14:12 > 0:14:13A little-known fact, that.

0:14:13 > 0:14:17All these things that you go round the countryside looking at

0:14:17 > 0:14:19and you take them for granted.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22All of a sudden it comes alive. I've had a fabulous time.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I think the horse manure is going to live with me though.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Oh, yes. Well, that's a good one.

0:14:27 > 0:14:33Now, what of David? He's keen to squeeze in one last shop.

0:14:33 > 0:14:39He's venturing 31 miles east to the town of Stamford in Lincolnshire.

0:14:39 > 0:14:45In 1967, this became the first urban conservation area in England.

0:14:45 > 0:14:50Not surprising considering most of the buildings are made of lovely Lincolnshire limestone.

0:14:50 > 0:14:53Sir Walter Scott described the view of the town

0:14:53 > 0:14:56as the finest between London and Edinburgh,

0:14:56 > 0:15:01while more recently the BBC filmed the costume drama Middlemarch here.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05David's dropping in on one of the town's most well-known

0:15:05 > 0:15:09antiques centres, where over 70 dealers showcase their wares.

0:15:09 > 0:15:12What I'll try and look for is something specific

0:15:12 > 0:15:15like a small item of silver and concentrate on that

0:15:15 > 0:15:18when I go in there, so at least I'm not distracted by porcelain

0:15:18 > 0:15:20or anything else of that ilk.

0:15:20 > 0:15:22On the last leg of the trip, David got lucky

0:15:22 > 0:15:27thanks to a silver pencil case which made him a £55 profit.

0:15:28 > 0:15:31I'm pleased but I'm actually not that pleased for you.

0:15:31 > 0:15:37It looks like he's hoping to repeat that good fortune with something from here.

0:15:37 > 0:15:41Right, what I want to see is one...

0:15:41 > 0:15:44little item here. This is £26.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well, this is quite a nice little object.

0:15:47 > 0:15:48It was called a swizzle stick.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51It's silver, it's stamped silver.

0:15:51 > 0:15:53I think possibly continental or even American.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56These prongs, which are retractable,

0:15:56 > 0:15:59you'd use to take the bubbles out of champagne

0:15:59 > 0:16:02or you might want to stir your pink gin.

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Then at the other end you've got a little point which you could use for

0:16:06 > 0:16:11an olive or anything that you'd have to eat at cocktail hour.

0:16:11 > 0:16:17In 1933, engineer Jay Sindler invented the swizzle stick.

0:16:17 > 0:16:21He was looking for a way to get the olive out of his Martini

0:16:21 > 0:16:23without using his fingers.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26In 1935, he was granted a patent.

0:16:26 > 0:16:30Ever since the designs have become more and more elaborate,

0:16:30 > 0:16:33like this very one from the 1940s.

0:16:36 > 0:16:39- What's the very best price, please? - £20.- It's £20.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42- Is that your very best?- 18.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46- 15?- Ooh. 16?

0:16:46 > 0:16:48No, £15, please.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50- Painful.- 15.- You can have it.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53- Thank you very much. - That's two broken arms I've got!

0:16:56 > 0:17:00As the day draws to a close, that's four items in the bag for David.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03But he'll be keeping that information close to his chest,

0:17:03 > 0:17:07as he and Philip head off for a spot of shut-eye.

0:17:07 > 0:17:09Hello, Philip. How I've missed you.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Tell me how you got on first.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15- Good day.- I've had a great day. - I haven't bought a great deal.

0:17:15 > 0:17:16Liar!

0:17:16 > 0:17:21- Are you ready for this?- Careful. You've got valuable cargo in here.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24Ohhhh! This poor car.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26Poor Amy.

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Get some rest, gents.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31It's still all to play for tomorrow.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34It's a bright and breezy morning in Lincolnshire,

0:17:34 > 0:17:39but this classic little Morris Minor is more used to David's sedate pace

0:17:39 > 0:17:41than Philip's need for speed.

0:17:41 > 0:17:45Amy, Amy doesn't want to go that fast.

0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Amy is the same speed as you. - How long is that scarf?

0:17:48 > 0:17:51Long enough to throttle you with.

0:17:51 > 0:17:55David had a blistering, bargain-filled first day.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57He spent just £30 on four items.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01That leaves him a bumper £222.59 to play with.

0:18:01 > 0:18:07While Philip's shopping was a tad more relaxed, he's spent even less.

0:18:07 > 0:18:13£10 on one lot, giving him £213.57 to shop with today.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16Good man. You're a gentleman. Thank you ever so much.

0:18:16 > 0:18:22Philip has got ground to make up, so he's first to the shops.

0:18:22 > 0:18:23Morning.

0:18:23 > 0:18:28Visiting the same antiques centre in which David bought his swizzle stick.

0:18:28 > 0:18:33As ever, Philip sniffs out something with a whiff of the unusual.

0:18:33 > 0:18:37A set of drug jars that have stepped out from a 1920s pharmacy.

0:18:37 > 0:18:40The thing that sells these is the labels on them.

0:18:40 > 0:18:45Here we have spirit of Vini Meth, whatever Vini Meth is.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Sounds like some sort of... Not Vinnie Jones, is it?

0:18:47 > 0:18:51Vini Meth, or methylated spirits, would have fuelled a lamp burner.

0:18:51 > 0:18:55Calcium chloride was for skin infections,

0:18:55 > 0:18:58while quinine sulphas treated malaria.

0:18:58 > 0:19:04But as to why a pharmacist would have aviation fuel is a bit of a mystery.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Philip's interested in eight drug jars.

0:19:07 > 0:19:09They can be very collectable.

0:19:09 > 0:19:15Early drug jars that date back to the 17th century that are in pottery

0:19:15 > 0:19:19with wonderful designs on them, they can be £4,000, £5,000, £6,000.

0:19:19 > 0:19:22These aren't going to fall into that bracket.

0:19:22 > 0:19:24Peter, can I ask you a question about these?

0:19:24 > 0:19:26- Yes.- I've totted them up

0:19:26 > 0:19:29and individually it comes out at £36 or £37.

0:19:29 > 0:19:33We'll go 25 on those.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35- Go on, I'll have them then. - Quick work, Philip.

0:19:35 > 0:19:39It's not long before he spots another possibility.

0:19:39 > 0:19:43This is quite interesting, because we've got a set of four lignum vitae

0:19:43 > 0:19:46bowls here.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49It's interesting cos these are numbered one, two, three, four,

0:19:49 > 0:19:52and we've got another numbered set here.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55They're a set of four bowls,

0:19:55 > 0:20:00but actually they're not cos what we have are four pairs of bowls.

0:20:00 > 0:20:04So number one and number one are one pair.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07So whoever owns this stall has split them up and shouldn't really.

0:20:07 > 0:20:14These bowls from the 1900s are made of lignum vitae, known as ironwood.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18It was chosen for being hard-wearing and extremely strong.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22For four sets of pairs, the price is £50.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24What can those be bought for?

0:20:24 > 0:20:25We'll say that's 20.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28And those 20? That's 40.

0:20:28 > 0:20:30So what about £35 for all of them?

0:20:30 > 0:20:32- Or £30 for all of them. - 35 for all of them.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35£35? Yeah, I'm going to have those.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I should argue more but I think those are cheap.

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Mental note, buy smaller things. Lord above!

0:20:42 > 0:20:48While Philip heads further afield to continue his quest for more bargains,

0:20:48 > 0:20:50David's off on an adventure.

0:20:50 > 0:20:55He's travelling eight miles west to Rutland Water.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59This is home to Europe's largest man-made lake.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03- Is this our boat? - It is.- Will you show me round?

0:21:03 > 0:21:05- I will, certainly.- After you.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Local historian Bryan Waites is taking David across the water

0:21:09 > 0:21:15to find out the incredible story behind the creation of this reservoir.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18In the 1970s, there was a need for water

0:21:18 > 0:21:23in the growing towns of Corby and Peterborough and Northampton.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26So this was one of the most suitable places.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31There was even clay nearby to build the dam

0:21:31 > 0:21:36and the rivers Welland and Nene were close enough to supply the water.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39Were there any farms or villages submerged?

0:21:39 > 0:21:43There were about 16 farms that had to be destroyed, really.

0:21:43 > 0:21:47There were two smaller villages that were affected.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50One disappeared entirely at Lower Hambleton

0:21:50 > 0:21:53and Middle Hambleton half disappeared, really.

0:21:53 > 0:21:58The other location threatened with submergence

0:21:58 > 0:22:01was the stunning Normanton Church.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05It was there for many centuries before the water ever came.

0:22:05 > 0:22:09In order to protect it, they had to half fill it with cement

0:22:09 > 0:22:13because the water level would have flooded the church.

0:22:13 > 0:22:16The floor of the church was raised up to window level.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19Outside, a bank was built to protect the building

0:22:19 > 0:22:22and a new causeway provided access from the shoreline.

0:22:22 > 0:22:27Better to keep it in situ than to move it to another site, I think.

0:22:27 > 0:22:29The majority of what we see today

0:22:29 > 0:22:34was built for the Earl of Ancaster in the 1800s.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38- From a distance it looks so Italian. - It does, really. Exactly.

0:22:38 > 0:22:42You follow through the Roman architectural detail.

0:22:42 > 0:22:47So you've got the Ionic columns at the bottom and then the Corinthian ones at the top.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49Yes, well spotted.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Normanton Church was deconsecrated in 1970

0:22:53 > 0:22:58when the trust for its protection was first set up.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Now a museum, it tells the story

0:23:02 > 0:23:07of the creation of the reservoir, attracting over 30,000 visitors a year.

0:23:07 > 0:23:08It's very, very elegant.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11- Like some Venetian building. - It is indeed.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13Floating on the water, really.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Meanwhile, Philip's arrived in Wymondham,

0:23:21 > 0:23:25following a 16 mile journey north from Stamford.

0:23:25 > 0:23:28You've got a fabulous shop here.

0:23:28 > 0:23:32Dealer Tina Bryan has everything from tableware and kitchenalia

0:23:32 > 0:23:34to furniture, stained glass and brass.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38I'm not going to look at price. I'm going to adopt a different policy.

0:23:38 > 0:23:42If I walk round and I just bid you for things, you can either

0:23:42 > 0:23:45throw me out the shop or say, "Well, we might like to talk a bit more."

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I'll have a wander round.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52- Lord above.- Indeed, Philip.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Tina's shop is lovely, and judging by her stock, she's got a good eye.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00It could be a struggle to get her to lower her prices though.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03I can see this is going to be quite tough with you, Madam.

0:24:03 > 0:24:06This is like an early vacuum cleaner, isn't it?

0:24:06 > 0:24:08You got hold of that, like that.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Then you just created a vacuum like that.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16It sounds like David Barby breathing, doesn't it?

0:24:16 > 0:24:19Nice gag, but I don't think it's really for you.

0:24:19 > 0:24:21Time is pushing on.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24- Tina, these are nice, aren't they? - The saucepans.

0:24:24 > 0:24:26- Bit old hat, aren't they?- They are.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28- Popular.- He said old hat, Tina.

0:24:28 > 0:24:30Not must-have.

0:24:30 > 0:24:32Lord above!

0:24:32 > 0:24:35These brass pans are Victorian.

0:24:35 > 0:24:39A modern tip for cleaning pans like these is tomato ketchup.

0:24:39 > 0:24:43Leave it on for 30 minutes and bingo. They come up sparkling.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Philip's right though, these are not as popular as they used to be.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50At £28 each, he needs to be firm.

0:24:50 > 0:24:54- £10 each.- On the brass pans?- Yeah.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56- OK.- Yeah?

0:24:56 > 0:24:57I want two. Is that all right?

0:24:57 > 0:24:59That's all right. That's fine.

0:24:59 > 0:25:01Ooh, I'll put these by.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05I think Tina's taken pity on you, Philip.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08How they land aircraft with these. It's incredible!

0:25:08 > 0:25:11This is for getting bread out the oven, isn't it?

0:25:11 > 0:25:15- That's right, yes.- I bet the local pizza parlour could still use this.

0:25:15 > 0:25:17Yeah, I bet they could actually.

0:25:17 > 0:25:21Philip is once again proving he likes to think outside the box.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24He's already bagged the pharmacy jars,

0:25:24 > 0:25:28and on the last leg of the trip it was ostrich eggs from the butchers.

0:25:28 > 0:25:32I think this one's been cut off a bit, hasn't it?

0:25:32 > 0:25:35Maybe it was for a short person.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37What a saleslady. What a girl!

0:25:37 > 0:25:39These are from the 1900s.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42The shovel might be French and would have been vital

0:25:42 > 0:25:45in the making of bread in a boulangerie.

0:25:45 > 0:25:49The rake? Well, ideal for any jobs in the garden, really.

0:25:49 > 0:25:53For the two of them, Tina wants £35.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54Right, one-off deal.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57I'll give you £25 for the two. That's it finished. No more.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59OK, right.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01- That's fair.- Really?

0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Good girl. Pleased with those. - There you are.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08You are a good sport, Tina, because Philip's the real rake here, isn't he?

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Ha-ha! Couldn't resist it.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17David and Amy the Morris Minor are enjoying some peace and quiet in the English countryside.

0:26:17 > 0:26:22They're on a quick seven-mile trip to nearby Uppingham.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26It's most famous for its rather spiffing independent school

0:26:26 > 0:26:30and is a market town in Rutland, the smallest county in England.

0:26:30 > 0:26:36David is fitting in one last shop before the chaps reconvene to reveal their wares.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40He's immediately attracted to this.

0:26:40 > 0:26:42This is for drawing lots.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45So you have all the numbers there on the balls.

0:26:45 > 0:26:50You give it a turn like that and you operate something underneath here.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Out would drop one of the balls.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56That is quite nice. What I like about it, it's all brass

0:26:56 > 0:26:59and it's got its original little lot there.

0:26:59 > 0:27:05This is Edwardian, an era where craftsmanship was all about a quality finish.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09The globe was probably used for drawing lottery numbers locally,

0:27:09 > 0:27:14perhaps at a gentlemen's club, perhaps for prizes or even bingo.

0:27:14 > 0:27:18I like that. Oh, not so keen on the price though.

0:27:18 > 0:27:21That's £195.

0:27:21 > 0:27:22But isn't it nice?

0:27:22 > 0:27:28True to form, David's going to try and get shop owner Nick Grindley to slash the price.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31I really want your very best on that, please.

0:27:31 > 0:27:36Right, the very best on it would be 150.

0:27:36 > 0:27:38150. That's a bit more than I wanted to pay.

0:27:38 > 0:27:44Ah. This will be my last figure, and the last figure is 140. That's it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:47What a dilemma. I'm going to make that awful decision

0:27:47 > 0:27:51on buying an expensive item and keeping my fingers crossed

0:27:51 > 0:27:53and hoping that it's going to make a profit.

0:27:53 > 0:27:57And I think I shall go with the...

0:27:57 > 0:28:01lottery ball. That is such fun. Thank you very much indeed.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03OK. Pleasure. Good doing business with you.

0:28:04 > 0:28:08It's been a whale of a tour across Leicestershire,

0:28:08 > 0:28:12Lincolnshire and Rutland - all for the purpose of buying antiques.

0:28:12 > 0:28:17Now our boys must reveal those wares to one another.

0:28:17 > 0:28:20- Come on then, Barbs, surprise me. - This is my first, OK?

0:28:22 > 0:28:24- What do you think?- Is it skittles?

0:28:24 > 0:28:29It's ninepins. And I've got the original cheeses. Look at that.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31- What's a cheese? - This is what you roll at them.

0:28:31 > 0:28:34- Is it? Are they not round? - They're not round.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37I think that that little lot would make...

0:28:37 > 0:28:39£20 to £30.

0:28:39 > 0:28:43- Oh.- Go on, what did you pay? - Oh, dear.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48- No, you're fine, I know you. Go on, what did you pay?- Fiver. - You're home and hosed!

0:28:48 > 0:28:52A little seal, and a little nib wiper.

0:28:52 > 0:28:55- Oh, that's sweet. - Go on, how much was that lot then?

0:28:55 > 0:28:57The whole lot?

0:28:57 > 0:28:59- Yes. - Probably in the region of £8-£10.

0:28:59 > 0:29:01I paid a tenner for it, yeah.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03What do you think it will make, a profit?

0:29:03 > 0:29:06- I think it will make 15-18. - Oh, that'll do.

0:29:06 > 0:29:08That's for stirring your cocktail with.

0:29:08 > 0:29:11Or getting bubbles out of champagne.

0:29:11 > 0:29:14You see we can't afford champagne where I come from.

0:29:14 > 0:29:17- I think that's really quite sweet. What did you pay for it?- 15.

0:29:17 > 0:29:22- Oh, that's all right, isn't it? Are you ready for this, Barbs?- Yep.

0:29:22 > 0:29:24- Job lot.- Yeah? - 25 quid. What do you think?

0:29:24 > 0:29:26I think that's very good actually.

0:29:26 > 0:29:29People love collecting these pharmaceuticals.

0:29:29 > 0:29:34- Do you think I'll do all right with those?- I think they are quite nice, I like those immensely.

0:29:34 > 0:29:36Right, my next object.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39- You push it down, it pops up again. - Really? Oh, yeah.

0:29:39 > 0:29:43- There's still a vacuum there.- Yeah. Go on, you paid 20 quid for it?

0:29:43 > 0:29:45- Five.- Yeah, that's cheap enough.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48Rolling on, then, Philip's bowls.

0:29:48 > 0:29:52I bought the four pairs for £35, which I thought was really cheap.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56- I think that's cheap. It's lignum vitae, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00It's the wood that is more valuable than the actual bowls themselves.

0:30:00 > 0:30:03All polished up, David's copper tray.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06- You probably bought that for a fiver?- Yeah.

0:30:06 > 0:30:08- It's cheap at a fiver.- Isn't it?

0:30:08 > 0:30:14But it was black, but I love those sort of intertwining leaves, very much like William Morris.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16It's very nice. Isn't it lovely?

0:30:16 > 0:30:19- Oh, it's beautiful, Barbs. - Oh, God, I adore that.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22- I'm moved.- How much do you think it's going to make?

0:30:22 > 0:30:24- You'll make 30 quid on that one. - Yeah.

0:30:24 > 0:30:28Out of everything you've bought, is there one thing that you thought, "I'm not sure?"

0:30:28 > 0:30:31- Yeah.- This is mine. When I started, copper kettles were

0:30:31 > 0:30:37£90 and £100 or £105, now they're £10 or £15 each, aren't they?

0:30:37 > 0:30:39I paid £20 for the two.

0:30:39 > 0:30:42I might be in with a bit of a shout, mightn't I?

0:30:42 > 0:30:43Those are quite nice.

0:30:43 > 0:30:47Could David's lottery ball dispenser be his mistake?

0:30:47 > 0:30:49Have a go.

0:30:53 > 0:30:55Isn't it wonderful?

0:30:55 > 0:30:59And the winning number is number 11!

0:30:59 > 0:31:03Look out, Dale Winton. How much was that, Barbs? I wouldn't have a clue.

0:31:03 > 0:31:07I think he's daft enough to give 55 or 60 quid for it.

0:31:07 > 0:31:11- Ha! Just double it.- You paid £120 for it?- £140.- Oh, well!

0:31:11 > 0:31:15Time for Philip's rake and shovel combo.

0:31:15 > 0:31:17I think this has had some re-carving.

0:31:17 > 0:31:19Well, they would have got burnt.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23Well, yeah, I think this was a rectangular one,

0:31:23 > 0:31:28and has been made into an oval one. Now this I think is interesting.

0:31:28 > 0:31:32- Yeah, it's a rake, isn't it? - Yeah, but it's a combination

0:31:32 > 0:31:34of various components actually.

0:31:34 > 0:31:36Yeah - it's a wooden rake and a metal rake.

0:31:36 > 0:31:39- Well, that's where the metal rake would have been.- Here, yeah.

0:31:39 > 0:31:41And they've used the shaft.

0:31:41 > 0:31:46- So I think the whole thing has been revamped.- I paid £25 for the two.

0:31:46 > 0:31:48Well, I wish you the best of luck.

0:31:48 > 0:31:51- I'm sure you'll do well with them. - Yes, I'd like to say the same.

0:31:51 > 0:31:53I didn't, but I'd like to.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56Oh, he is a rotter! What's the real verdict?

0:31:56 > 0:32:00I didn't like the rake, because it had been heavily restored

0:32:00 > 0:32:03and cleaned and it didn't have the natural feel about it.

0:32:03 > 0:32:08I also think the same with the paddle, which should have been rectangular.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11His tombola thing, erm...

0:32:11 > 0:32:16I think that's a huge gamble, and he could conceivably lose £100 on that.

0:32:16 > 0:32:18I think from Philip's objects,

0:32:18 > 0:32:23all of them have a potential profit margin, except for the sealing wax.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25But you can never tell.

0:32:26 > 0:32:30No, you cannot. This leg of the road trip is now drawing to an end.

0:32:30 > 0:32:33Our experts have whizzed around the East Midlands

0:32:33 > 0:32:36taking in high spots like Sileby,

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Loughborough, Stamford, Rutland Water,

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Wymondham and Uppingham.

0:32:41 > 0:32:46Now they're zooming way out east to Aylsham in Norfolk for the auction.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Aylsham is slap bang in the middle of the Garden of Norfolk.

0:32:52 > 0:32:57It's a thriving rural community that enjoys a busy weekly auction market.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Good news, chaps!

0:33:00 > 0:33:04- Well, here we are before your very eyes.- Are you ready, Barbs?

0:33:04 > 0:33:06- Yeah.- I'm going to have to get something for my nerves.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09It's the custard jacket, isn't it?

0:33:09 > 0:33:12Let's hope David doesn't try to sell that!

0:33:13 > 0:33:19Keys Auctions, in business since 1953, is a busy sale room.

0:33:19 > 0:33:21Today is a general sale, so anything goes.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Auctioneer Henry Hammond is the man in charge,

0:33:24 > 0:33:27and he's discovered something interesting.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30- Your tray has hope, sir. - Oh, thank goodness for that!

0:33:30 > 0:33:33Hope. Keswick School of Industrial Arts,

0:33:33 > 0:33:36which you may or may not have noticed at the time of purchase...

0:33:36 > 0:33:39It was black when I bought it, absolutely black.

0:33:39 > 0:33:40How much do you think?

0:33:40 > 0:33:43- We may make £100.- Ah!

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Thank you very much, that would be absolutely super!

0:33:47 > 0:33:51Keswick School of Industrial Art was highly respected

0:33:51 > 0:33:53during the Arts and Crafts period.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57It just goes to show that a spot of polish really can unearth a treasure.

0:34:01 > 0:34:06Both our gents have bought five lots. David began this leg with £252.59.

0:34:06 > 0:34:11He's spent £170 on the atomiser, the ninepins, the swizzle stick,

0:34:11 > 0:34:13the brass lottery globe

0:34:13 > 0:34:17and what transpires to be a Keswick copper tray.

0:34:20 > 0:34:24While Philip started out with £223.57.

0:34:24 > 0:34:30He's splashed out £115 on the wax sealing set and pen wipe,

0:34:30 > 0:34:33the glass jars, the hardwood bowls,

0:34:33 > 0:34:37the brass saucepans and the bread shovel and rake.

0:34:37 > 0:34:38What a mixture!

0:34:38 > 0:34:41It's eyes to the front for the man with the gavel.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44We all know a nod's as good as a wink to him!

0:34:44 > 0:34:46Well, this is it, Barbs. This could be trouble.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50Philip's bread shovel and rake are up first.

0:34:50 > 0:34:53£30 for them? £20 then?

0:34:53 > 0:34:57- £10 then anyone? Fiver then anyone? - I think we're up here.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00At five, bid now. Six, at six, at eight now, at ten...

0:35:00 > 0:35:03At ten, at 12 now. At 12, at 15...

0:35:03 > 0:35:07At 15, anybody else at 15, 18 at the front then, at 18.

0:35:07 > 0:35:1120, 22, 25. 25?

0:35:11 > 0:35:13£25 and done, then.

0:35:13 > 0:35:17That's just cost me the commission!

0:35:17 > 0:35:20That's right. Philip might have broken even,

0:35:20 > 0:35:23but he still has the auction costs to think about.

0:35:23 > 0:35:27- Well, that's not too bad. - It's all working out well, isn't it?

0:35:27 > 0:35:33- Never mind, the brass saucepans might fair better.- £20 for them?

0:35:33 > 0:35:36£10 then... Fiver, then, anyone. Anyone for a fiver?

0:35:36 > 0:35:40Five bid now. In the doorway, then. Six now...

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Oh, we're racing away.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44At 10. Middle row then, at 10.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47I should have bought a tin of beans and put it in them!

0:35:47 > 0:35:49£10 and done, then.

0:35:49 > 0:35:51Crash and burn.

0:35:51 > 0:35:56He's lost half their cost - proving items like these

0:35:56 > 0:35:59are not as fashionable as they used to be.

0:35:59 > 0:36:02Now for David's ninepins.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Then we're onto lot 184...

0:36:04 > 0:36:06My lot, my lot.

0:36:06 > 0:36:08£10 we're bid to start. At 10 now,

0:36:08 > 0:36:1112, 15, 18.

0:36:11 > 0:36:1520, 22, 25, 28, 30,

0:36:15 > 0:36:1832, 35, 38,

0:36:18 > 0:36:2040, 42.

0:36:20 > 0:36:2442, 45. 45, 48. 48, 50.

0:36:24 > 0:36:28Five, 55, 60, five.

0:36:28 > 0:36:3270, five, 75, 80. Five.

0:36:32 > 0:36:3690, five, 95, 100.

0:36:36 > 0:36:39105. 110. 110 in the front.

0:36:39 > 0:36:40Christopher Columbus!

0:36:40 > 0:36:44I just don't believe this.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47120, five, on the wall, then, at 125...

0:36:47 > 0:36:52- On the wall? More like off the wall. - At £125 and done then...

0:36:52 > 0:36:55- Oh, my...! - I'm going to shove one of those...

0:36:55 > 0:36:58Sorry, could you just remind me what it was?

0:36:58 > 0:37:00I lost the will to live at 100 quid.

0:37:00 > 0:37:05That's a smashing return of £120 before commission.

0:37:05 > 0:37:08Was that good? That was really good!

0:37:09 > 0:37:14Time for Philip's sealing set and pen wipe.

0:37:14 > 0:37:16Maybe these will change his fortunes.

0:37:16 > 0:37:20At £30 for it. £20 then.

0:37:20 > 0:37:21Oh, Henry Hell.

0:37:21 > 0:37:2610 bid now, 12, 15, 18, 20, two, 25.

0:37:26 > 0:37:31Anybody else? In the front. £25 and done then...

0:37:31 > 0:37:34A profit, and about time, too.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38But he needs a whole lot more to stay in the game.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41You've got £15 profit on that, and it will increase, don't worry.

0:37:41 > 0:37:47Very generous of him! Anyway, let's hope so. Roll on, David's atomiser.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50£20 for it. £10 then.

0:37:50 > 0:37:54Fiver, then. £5, at 6 now... At 6.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57At 8, at 8, at 10...

0:37:57 > 0:38:00At 12 now, in the front then, at 12.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02At 15 now. At 15.

0:38:02 > 0:38:0418? 18, right in the front.

0:38:04 > 0:38:09Anybody else? £18 and done then...

0:38:09 > 0:38:11That's disappointing.

0:38:11 > 0:38:13"Oh, that's disappointing."(!)

0:38:13 > 0:38:16Yes, David! But it's still a profit.

0:38:16 > 0:38:18Not to be sniffed at. Ha!

0:38:18 > 0:38:19I thought it would have done

0:38:19 > 0:38:22- at least 20.- Ha!

0:38:22 > 0:38:26Let's see how your swizzle stick tickles the bidders.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29£10 for it, at five bid now, at £5,

0:38:29 > 0:38:32at six now, at eight, at eight, at 10,

0:38:32 > 0:38:36at 12, at 15, at 18,

0:38:36 > 0:38:3920, 22, 22 in the front then.

0:38:39 > 0:38:4225, 25, anybody else at £25?

0:38:42 > 0:38:45That must be awfully disappointing(!)

0:38:45 > 0:38:48- It is, actually.- So disappointing. - How much did that make?- £25.

0:38:48 > 0:38:5025, thank you.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Now, now, no need for handbags at dawn, girls.

0:38:54 > 0:38:56Although David is romping ahead.

0:38:56 > 0:38:59Don't worry, you'll rejoice when the hamster cage is up.

0:38:59 > 0:39:01That's exactly right.

0:39:01 > 0:39:05David's brass lottery globe could go either way.

0:39:05 > 0:39:09£100 for it. Very unusual thing. £50 then.

0:39:09 > 0:39:13£30, then. 30 bid now. At 30,

0:39:13 > 0:39:15at 32 now.

0:39:15 > 0:39:1935, 35, in the doorway then at 35.

0:39:19 > 0:39:21Anybody else? In the doorway then...

0:39:21 > 0:39:23Oh, goodness me.

0:39:23 > 0:39:2838, 40, two, 45, 48, 50.

0:39:28 > 0:39:29Anybody else?

0:39:29 > 0:39:32£50 and done then...

0:39:32 > 0:39:34Oh, as I expected.

0:39:39 > 0:39:40Yes!

0:39:40 > 0:39:45Ha! It's bombed - with a £90 loss.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47David's gamble didn't pay off.

0:39:47 > 0:39:50That cancels out my gain of 100 earlier on.

0:39:50 > 0:39:56Oh, gosh. "That cancels out my gain of 100 earlier on!" Ohhhh!

0:39:56 > 0:39:59Mind your Marjory manners, Philip!

0:39:59 > 0:40:02No-one likes a Rosemary rude,

0:40:02 > 0:40:06especially as your glass jars are on display next.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09£30 for them. £20 then.

0:40:09 > 0:40:12£10 then anyone. Fiver then, anyone.

0:40:12 > 0:40:14- Help!- Five bid now, at £5.

0:40:14 > 0:40:17At £5, at six, then.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20At six, at eight. At eight, at ten.

0:40:20 > 0:40:23At ten, at 12, right in the front then, at 12.

0:40:23 > 0:40:27At £12 and done then...

0:40:27 > 0:40:30Another loss. Not great.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33This just isn't Philip's day.

0:40:33 > 0:40:36- How much have I lost today, Barbs? - Erm, so far only £26.

0:40:36 > 0:40:39It's like the Wall Street Crash.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42Let's hope his hardwood bowls play better.

0:40:42 > 0:40:44Lot 389...

0:40:44 > 0:40:46Smile, even if you lose.

0:40:46 > 0:40:48..together with two jacks there.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51All that lot there, £30 for it.

0:40:51 > 0:40:53£20 then. £10 then to start...

0:40:53 > 0:40:59- Oh, I am staggered. - 10 bid now, at £10. £12. 15, 18.

0:40:59 > 0:41:02- 20...- OK, come on, a bit more.- 22.

0:41:02 > 0:41:05You two are right together, bidding.

0:41:05 > 0:41:07At 22, 25, 28 now.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09At 28, anybody else at 28?

0:41:09 > 0:41:1130. At 30.

0:41:11 > 0:41:1732, 32, 35, 35 - anybody else at 35?

0:41:17 > 0:41:21At £35 and done then...

0:41:21 > 0:41:25Ah, dear, I'm so disappointed for you, Philip. I really, really am.

0:41:25 > 0:41:30It's just a lot of bowls, this - another loss after commission.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33If I wasn't in the same car as you, I'd let your tyres down.

0:41:33 > 0:41:38Now for the last lot of the day - David's repousser copper tray.

0:41:38 > 0:41:43If there's an Arts and Crafts buff out there, this could clean up.

0:41:43 > 0:41:48Lot 403 is the late 19th century Arts and Crafts copper tray,

0:41:48 > 0:41:53- bearing Keswick School of Industrial Art...- Yes!- ..stamp to it.

0:41:53 > 0:41:54At 50, bid now, at 50.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57- I'm going to go and cry.- Shh, shh.

0:41:57 > 0:41:59At the back then, 65...

0:41:59 > 0:42:00- Ah, it's been a great day.- Shh!

0:42:00 > 0:42:0480, five, 90, five,

0:42:04 > 0:42:07100, 105, 110, 115...

0:42:07 > 0:42:11Can you stop digging me in the ribs? I can't stand this any more.

0:42:11 > 0:42:12I'm going to be ill!

0:42:12 > 0:42:15I can't do this any more!

0:42:15 > 0:42:18200, 200, in the front then, at 200.

0:42:18 > 0:42:20Anybody else? In the front, then...

0:42:20 > 0:42:22Surely there's another bid.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24£200 and done then...

0:42:24 > 0:42:27That's just made my day, it's been perfect all the way round.

0:42:27 > 0:42:28Thank you so much!

0:42:28 > 0:42:33Ha-ha-ha(!) Before commission, that's an incredible profit.

0:42:33 > 0:42:36And it only cost David a fiver.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Oh, what a splendid day, I really have enjoyed it.

0:42:39 > 0:42:43- Yes, it's been great fun, hasn't it? - Yeah. Ha-ha!

0:42:43 > 0:42:46Ha-ha! What a disappointing auction for Philip, though.

0:42:46 > 0:42:53After paying the auction house costs, he's made a loss of £26.86,

0:42:53 > 0:42:57leaving him with just £196.71 to go on with.

0:43:01 > 0:43:05Champion for the second time this week is David Barby.

0:43:05 > 0:43:11After paying commission, he's made a profit of £174.33,

0:43:11 > 0:43:16giving him a whopping £426.92 to start the next show.

0:43:19 > 0:43:25Never mind, tomorrow is another day. How sweet!

0:43:25 > 0:43:26Next time on Antiques Road Trip,

0:43:26 > 0:43:30Philip tries to claw back those losses.

0:43:30 > 0:43:32I've tried to pull every trick in the book!

0:43:32 > 0:43:34And David gets even cheekier, if it's possible,

0:43:34 > 0:43:37when it comes to slashing prices.

0:43:37 > 0:43:39- Can we round it off at 20?! - HE LAUGHS

0:43:39 > 0:43:41This is being quite painful!
